We’ve been celebrating Numeracy Day by doing some Commandery maths… 🔢

1085 + 1651 - (30 × 9) + 34 + 7 - 2 = ?

From Civil War battles to painted saints and President visits, every number in this equation links to a piece of Commandery history!

And it all adds up to one very important number… 2505

Join us this Bank Holiday Monday, 25 May, at The Commandery to celebrate Oak Apple Day!🌳⚔️
